Native American (Anasazi) ruins, two cylindrical and one D-shaped ancient mud and stone towers, stand on elevated rocks at Hovenweep National Monument, Motezuma County, Colorado. Two ruins stand together, one of which has an opening, possibly a doorway, and are similar in height. The third ruin stands at a distance and appears much shorter. Sage, boulders, and scrub bushes cover the rocky desert landscape around the ruins.
